2015
Reynolds Cycling is situated at the base of Utah’s majestic Wasatch Mountains, a land of epic beauty that provides both inspiration and an ideal proving ground for new, innovative bicycle wheels. We test our road wheels on the same steep and winding mountain byways that play host to internationally contested UCI races, and the limitless miles of high country trails are the perfect setting for validating our mountain bike wheels. It is with this backdrop that we have built the Reynolds Composite Studio whose sole focus is engineering the strongest, lightest, and fastest premium wheels for road, triathlon, mountain bike, and any other biking discipline in which top performance is the dedicated goal.
EXPERIENCE | Performance
The Director of Technology is Paul Lew, a pioneer in the field of carbon fiber wheel manufacturing. It was Lew who brought the first commercially produced carbon clincher road wheel to market, and his designs, molds, tooling, production techniques and testing protocols have all set the standards for the rest of the industry to follow. He and his dedicated team of engineers are all avid cyclists, and they pour every ounce of passion they hold for the sport into the premium Reynolds wheels they create. We trust you will enjoy them as much as we do. Ride Hard. Ride the Best. Ride Reynolds.

CR6 (Carbon Rim 6 Technology) CR6 (Carbon Rim 6) is a proprietary engineering solution for durability, strength and stiffness. CR6 is based on unique lay-ups of carbon fiber for each of six critical areas of the rim: the sidewall, spoke face, nipple bed, tire channel, rim hook bead and brake track. CR6 is a proprietary hybrid carbon layup (HML) combined with variable resin chemistry (VRC) and inert gas compaction (IGC).

Each batch is certified according to Reynolds’ specifications.

Methodology
We source only the highest quality aerospace-grade carbon fiber from Mitsubishi in Japan. Each batch is certified according to our strict specifications, and we dictate numerous combinations of fiber, epoxy, and resin, each destined for use in a different region of the rim.
We are scientific and uncompromising in building our wheels. Two principles guide us: Hybrid Modulus Laminate (HML) and Variable Resin Chemistry (VRC). We examine the unique, complex, and dynamic forces acting on every part of the wheel and rim, and precisely assign unique carbon fiber lay-ups and resins to the separate regions. There is no such thing as ‘one composite fits all’.
Our carbon fiber is pre-pregnated with epoxy in the U.S. and frozen for transport to our company-owned facility in China, where storage is temperature and date controlled to ensure the integrity of the materials. Each batch is inspected and certified according to our high standards.
36 2015 CONSUMER CATALOG
Our exclusive molding process is called Inert Gas Compaction (IGC). We use an inert gas compound under very high pressure to aid the chemical synthesis of our resin system. Unlike other molding methods, IGC ensures that we create an optimally durable rim that will not soften or lose structure as it ages.
mR5 (Mountain Rim 5 Technology) MR5 (Mountain Rim 5) is the precise method of assigning unique carbon fiber lay-ups to these five rim regions: the sidewall, spoke face, nipple bed, tire channel and rim hook bead.

aerodynamics
DET™ Dispersive Effect Termination The DET™ airfoil rim design smooths turbulent, energized airflow and re-attaches it to the rim surface, effectively reducing aerodynamic drag. In the real world, wind is omnipresent, affecting bike handling, aerodynamic drag and yaw angles. With Reynolds DET™, the side force associated with a crosswind is constant over a wider range of angles, which results in improved handling and better steering. Developed using CFD and validated in the A2 Wind Tunnel, Reynolds DET™ also delays aerodynamic stall, characterized by a sudden reduction in lift, and thus improves the wheel’s overall performance window relative to yaw. This window is 32% bigger than any of our competitors’ wheels, in effect providing a larger ‘sweet spot’ of aerodynamic benefit to the cyclist.
SLG Swirl Lip Generator® The original Swirl Lip Generator® (SLG) is a 0.9mm ‘lip’ strategically placed on the sidewall of the rim near the spoke face. First introduced and wind tunnel tested on the RZR® 46 and RZR® 46 Team, A2 Wind Tunnel testing demonstrated that the Swirl Lip Generator® reduces drag so effectively, that a racer can save 12.5 seconds over a distance of 40 kilometers. SLG effectively helps re-attach turbulent air to the spoke face after flowing over the spinning rim. It also decreases the side force acting on the rim, further reducing both turbulence and drag. At a yaw angle of 10 degrees, SLG drag reduction is validated to be 20% (A2 Wind Tunnel Tests, 02/2011).
CTG BRAKING SYSTEM Designed as a fully integrated system, Cryogenic Glass Transition, CTg, is Reynolds’ patented carbon fiber rim-and-brake pad pairing that allows Reynolds wheels to run up to 53% cooler than standard, non-CTg rim-andpad combinations. CTg ensures smooth, predictable braking performance, enhanced safety, and industry-leading dependability.
In thermal image testing conducted at the Reynolds Composite Studio, a Fluke Ti32 Thermal Imager, clearly demonstrated that CTg Brake Tracks and CryoBlue Power Pads work in tandem to effectively mitigate heat build up in the rim. Cooler rim temperatures benefit the rider through more braking power, better modulation and improved rim durability in every situation.
CTG BRAKE TRACK Unlike other brands that order materials off-the-shelf, Reynolds formulates its own proprietary carbon fiber laminates and specifies only the highest grades of resin systems for its rims. With this superior inventory of unique carbon fiber lay-ups and high-performance resins, Reynolds engineers arrange laminates in optimized layers to create the CTg brake track. These layers extend into the rim, effectively creating a heat sink. Heat dissipates away from the surface, to be cooled by the passing air..
CRYO-BLUE POWER BRAKE PADS Reynolds co-engineered our Cryo-Blue Power Brake Pads with industry brake technology leader, Brakco, to give you increased stopping power. The sleek, tapered aerodynamic design offers a 44% larger braking surface than Reynolds’ original Cryo-Blue brake pads. There are six angled slots that serve not only to move air through for additional cooling, but also to act as siphon channels, removing water from the brake track for superior braking in wet conditions.
The newer Enhanced SLG (Swirl Lip Generator®) utilizes a lip that is 8x larger than the original SLG, offering a 35% aerodynamic performance improvement as demonstrated by CFD.
ISH
™
BRAKE WEAR INDICATOR Integrated Step Hook
The Integrated Step Hook is a ‘step’ contour at the outer perimeter of the clincher hook that helps create a predictable airflow over the surface of the rim. Because of the added carbon lay-up to achieve this feature, it also increases the lateral stiffness of the wheel. ISH is used on 46 AERO, 58 AERO, and 72 AERO.

The Brake Wear Indicator, BWI, is a 10mm wide red line that Reynolds embeds into the brake track. The indicator, centered over the valve hole on both sides of the rim, becomes visible only when excessive wear has occurred, thus indicating that the wheel should be retired from service.

The purchase of new premium carbon fiber wheels is a sizeable investment worth protecting. The Reynolds Assurance Program (RAP) is the most comprehensive protection program of its kind. It provides two years of coverage above and beyond our standard two-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, and crash replacement program, providing an additional level of protection for our customers. With RAP, riders can return* their damaged carbon wheel(s)** for repair or replacement—at Reynolds’ discretion—no questions asked. This means that if a wheel is damaged in an incident, whether riding related or not, Reynolds has you covered.
